Vital Proteins®, known for its high-quality collagen-based wellness products, is stepping into the fast-growing colostrum category with the launch of Vital Proteins® Colostrum Capsules. These capsules are crafted from naturally sourced bovine colostrum obtained from U.S. cows, aiming to support gut health and boost the immune system. The gut plays a crucial role in overall wellness, especially immune health, with 70 percent of the immune system residing in the gut.
Seamless Integration into Daily Routine
The newly introduced supplements are thoughtfully designed to seamlessly integrate into existing daily routines. A daily serving of Vital Proteins Colostrum, equivalent to three capsules, can be consumed at once or spread throughout the day, with or without food. Notably, there is no need for cumbersome dry scooping. Vital Proteins® Colostrum Capsules follow a calf-first approach, using only excess colostrum produced by cows to ensure proper nourishment for growing calves before being utilized for other purposes.
Enhancing Wellness with Vital Proteins®
Vital Proteins® Colostrum Capsules serve as an excellent addition to any wellness regimen, a key consideration for many individuals embarking on a new year's health journey. These capsules complement the daily use of Vital Proteins® Collagen Peptides, which provide support for hair, skin, nails, bones, and joints. Both Vital Proteins Colostrum and Collagen Peptides offer distinct health benefits and can be incorporated into daily routines to promote overall well-being. Together, they form a powerful health-boosting duo.
Chris Brody, Senior Director of Marketing at Vital Proteins, shared, “Vital Proteins has always been driven by a mission to help individuals achieve their best look, feel, and mobility. With over 60 percent of U.S. consumers turning to supplements for digestive health support, there was a clear opportunity to enhance our commitment with the introduction of our Colostrum Capsules. We are confident in delivering the sought-after benefits in this thriving segment, catering to both collagen and non-collagen users and offering a fresh approach to health management.”

Vital Proteins® Colostrum Capsules are now accessible for purchase on VitalProteins.com and the Vital Proteins Amazon storefront, priced at $45.00 for a 90-count bottle.

Yes, and no. Yes, because many medicines have been proven effective against various ailments. Because they can't cure every condition. It all depends on your definition of “holistic.” It depends on what you mean when you use the term “holistic”.
Some claim holistic medicine was around since ancient times. This is false. Even though some healers from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and other countries used natural remedies, this was without any scientific knowledge.

How To
What are the products used in holistic medicine, and how do they differ?
It would be best to describe these products as “natural”, but not necessarily organic. These products could have been grown naturally without pesticides or fertilizers. But they were also processed in a way that is safer for your health. Some herbs, such as some that can cause allergic reactions, may need to be prepared differently depending upon their specific needs. Herbs sold at health food stores are more standardized than those sold at grocery stores. These latter may contain higher levels herbicides as well as fungicides.
The majority of herbal supplements are made from dried plants. Some prefer liquid forms of herbal supplements, as they tend to be more affordable. But this does not mean they are less safe. Liquid herbs can lose nutrients during processing. There is no guarantee that the product will retain all its original potency. Also, most herbal supplements do not undergo quality control testing before going on sale shelves.
Spices and herbs are usually added to foods after they have been cooked. They are often found in condiments such ketchup or mustard, salad dressings and soup mixes.
Supplements are most commonly taken orally, (by mouth). Many vitamins and minerals are available in tablets. Other vitamins and mineral are also available in capsule form.
Homeopathic remedies may be high-diluted substances that have been extracted from either plant, animal, mineral or synthetic sources. They are intended to stimulate the body’s healing mechanisms. They can be called “homeopathic”, but they don't work the same as regular medications. They activate the immune system of the body to restore balance and promote well-being. Homeopathic remedies have been proven safe and effective. They are widely used in Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
Acupuncture is the practice of inserting fine needles along specific meridians in your body. This is based on traditional Chinese medical theories that energy channels are the pathways through which life force flows. The theory states that illness occurs when blockages occur in these channels. The stimulation of certain points along the Meridian lines with fine needles is thought to restore energy flow and allow the body to return to normal function.
Chiropractors adjust the spine to correct misalignments. American doctor Daniel David Palmer created this technique in 1895. He claimed he could diagnose illnesses and cure diseases by manipulating the vertebrae. His methods involved spinal adjustments, muscle tests, and percussion.
Chiropractic has gained popularity in recent years. Many people think it is more effective than traditional medicine for back pain.
Massage therapy includes rubbing, tapping or tapping on muscles, joints, or other body parts. Massage is a great way to relax tight muscles and reduce tension. Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, sports, reflexology or myofascial release are all methods used by massage therapists.
Reflexology refers to alternative medicine that uses pressure to apply pressure to specific areas of your feet and hands using thumb pads and fingers. Reflexologists believe that this technique stimulates the body’s natural ability heal.
Aromatherapy uses essential oils extracted from plants to relieve stress, improve well-being, and enhance moods. Aromatherapy is also beneficial because essential oils can have a positive effect on health conditions, such as headache relief and arthritis treatment. There are many forms of aromatherapy.
Craniosacral Treatment uses gentle touch for pain relief and discomfort. Cranial is the skull. Sacrum in Latin refers to “sac”, and Cranial Sacral Therapy combines both. In this therapy, the therapist applies light pressure to various spots on the head, face, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, and torso while moving her/his hands across the patient's body.
Cupping therapy uses cups placed on the skin to produce suction and draw out toxins. Cupping is often combined with acupuncture or moxibustion (burning herbs) and may be used for detoxification.
Dietary supplements include oral and topical products that have vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts or enzymes. They also contain probiotics (antibiotics), antioxidants and fatty oils. Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act of 1993 regulates the FDA. To be legal, a dietary supplements must meet two criteria. First, it must contain a “dietary ingredient,” meaning that it contains more than one percent of a vitamin, mineral, herb, or other botanical listed on the Food and Drug Administration's Generally Recognized As Safe List. It must also have adhered to Good Manufacturing Practices. This means that its ingredients were properly handled during production.
Electrotherapy uses electric currents to stimulate muscles and nerves. The most widely used form is transcutaneous electronic nerve stimulation (TENS). The skin electrodes used to place TENS devices allow for low-level electrical pulses. These pulses activate receptors in the brain that block pain signals. You can also use electrotherapy in other ways, such as interferencential current therapy or magnetic field treatment, and even ultrasound therapy.
Energy healing is based in the belief that everyone has inherent healing abilities. Also, that our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs can have an impact on our physical health. Although energy healing has existed since ancient times, modern practitioners generally accept that there are multiple layers of energy within and around us. Emotional energy is one layer. One layer is called emotional energy. Another layer is mental energy. Others include psychic, spiritual and chakras. Vital, life force, prana. Kundalini, biofield. Aura, quantum fields, and prana. Many believe these energies are linked to the whole universe. Some claim that they can heal others using just their mind. The scientific evidence for energy medicine is still limited.
Energy psychology is about studying the effects of emotions on physiological functions, and vice versa. Energy psychology is often considered an alternative for psychotherapy, as it does not focus on past events but rather on helping clients to change their behaviour. Although energy psychology does not have a particular theoretical framework, it draws from many disciplines including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), transactional analysis, interpersonal psychoanalysis and attachment theory.
